    Re: Why Do You Like OS?

    Because it is moderated and more mature crowd. Gamefaqs went to the crapper years ago after they got bought out by Gamespot. Over there the inmates are running the prison. Any and everything goes, there is no enforcement of the TOS at all.

    Plus a 30s something year old man talking about tweaking sliders and rosters just don't sound right out in public when you talk about it out loud. People give you that weird look like umm WTH is he talking about ?

    Shouldn't you be talking about stocks, bonds, mortgages, 401ks, current events ?

No other forums is like this one.
      I like the variety too, but I also really appreciate the moderation. No, I am not kissing up.

      I enjoy coming to a place where everyone tries to be respectful, and if you're not, you'll hear about it. If you're completely out of line and confrontational, you won't last long here. I like that.

        I don't. I hate you all.

        But really, this is the only place I can find sports discussion without running into my friends, who for the most part are extreme homers.

          I think I like it here so much because there's chicks everywhere here.

            This is the only forum I have ever been in where there is actually a sense of community. There have been so many cases of members helping each other it is truly amazing.

            One of my favorite stories is when BlueandGolds (I think can't remember everybody involved) wife threw away his copy of The Show with the trash on a road trip from picking up the game and another member drove down to the gas station and found it for him. There is not another forum that something like this would even come close to happening in.

            Plus I can have more intelligent conversations on a variety of topics than I can usually have with my friends.

              Same for me. My friends that I grew up have all gone there separate ways, but this place is a nice place to discuss the things that interest me. Namely: Sports, Gaming, Entertainment, and Humor.

              There are other forums that I tried to visit, but everyone acted like they were 12 years old.

                        Like EA is going to be around too much longer with the lastest Madden sales and the NBA Elite down fall. So enjoy those checks while you can.
